Abstract
Men, women and death in Alsace : a way of life called into question
Compared to other parts of France, Alsace is at a disadvantage because of death rates and the causes of death. Men die younger than elsewhere, of tumours, and women of cardiovascular disease. Yet Alsace has a very good medical infrastmcture and these high and premature death rates seem due to the way of life and reveal social and sexual disparities. The plans of action drawn up aim at prevention and education and rely on a network of associations to make people aware of their own responsability.
